How to separate and add numbers from a file with .sh

How can I read a column and add each entry from a file using .sh?

Example file:

10000:max:100:1,2:3,4
10001:jill:50:7,8:3,2
10002:fred:300:5,6:7,8

How to use IFS=':' to read that file with a .sh file line by line and add the third part so that it would output the addition e.g. 450

$ ./myProgram myFile.txt
450

Cheers,

Joshua
